The remains of two little girls and their mother, stabbed at a Staten Island hotel, have been taken to New Jersey for burial.
Heartbroken family members bowed their heads as the three white coffins for 26-year-old Rebecca Cutler, 19-month-old Ziana and 4-month-old Maiyah were brought out of a Brooklyn funeral home on Friday.
On Thursday, dozens of mourners, some clutching toys, wept as they packed a service for the mother and children.
Cutler’s other daughter, 2-year-old Miracle, was critically injured in the Feb. 10 attack at the hotel, which accommodated homeless people.
Cutler’s boyfriend, Michael Sykes, who was Maiyah’s father, has pleaded not guilty to murder charges.
After the attack, Mayor Bill de Blasio said the other 28 families at the hotel were being relocated.
